Record a tab for up to 60 minutes, get automatic zooms that follow your clicks, blur private details, trim and caption on a timeline, and export MP4 or GIF. Recordings stay in your browser, and Cloud adds share links when you need them.
Tella
Tella is a screen recorder and editor for demos, tutorials, and long-form videos, with apps for Mac and Windows and a Chrome extension. It records screen and camera as separate tracks so you can change layouts later, and it lets you edit by deleting words from the transcript. Paid plans include AI tools, transcription in 106 languages, 4K export, and viewer analytics.
